Dr Serin Quinn
Thrilled to have the opportunity to speak with Jeremy @eatthispodcast.com about the long history of the #tomato, from Mesoameria to England! Topics including chilis, climate, and religious refugees. Have a listen: open.spotify.com/episode/3GWN... #foodhistory
Delighted to have my blog published in this edition of The Recipes Project! If you want to read about tomatoes, chilis, and the impact of Indigenous American tastes on European cuisine then this is for you! recipes.hypotheses.org/26743 #foodhistory
slightly obsessed with this picasso-looking cat eating waffles and honey I found while going through the @rijksmuseum.bsky.social collections - text reads "don't snack on these tasty treats!" (Obj.ID: RP-P-1923-281)
Hugely honoured to be granted this opportunity and excited to begin my new project on aphrodisiac-foods in early modern England!
Finishing up on the first day of my postdoc with @srsrensoc.bsky.social! I was hoping to share a fun image of early modern aphrodisiac foods, but can't find anything polite enough for social media 🙈
My latest piece with The Conversation - a short read on the long history of fermenting foods 🥒
